If the weight is wrong, that nails it. If it's correct, there were several die pairs used on these. If it's a fake, it's a nice one.
Nice looking token. I don't know the value today but I'm sure it's north of $200.
I have always liked this design. Nice example.

No. Environmental damage, yes and that's the same thing as PMD.
